Set recognition properties on the Recognition tab of the field properties dialog box. To open it, click Properties on the field’s shortcut menu. Correctly determined field values improve recognition quality and reduce errors. In the Filling type field, select the recognition mode: Standard recognition, Do not recognize, or Script recognition.

Standard recognition options

Select the checkmark type. This property is important for correct recognition. In Auto mode, FlexiCapture determines whether a checkmark is selected by comparing the checkmark image in the document with the checkmark image on the form used to create the Document Definition. The checkmark area in the Document Definition must be specified accurately. Auto mode applies to both fixed descriptions and FlexiLayouts:
  • Fixed descriptions: the checkmark on the form must remain blank. Selection is determined by comparing the checkmark area in the document with the checkmark area in the Document Definition.
  • FlexiLayouts: the reference value is the amount of black in the checkmark area in the Document Definition. Selection is determined by comparing the percentage of black in the two areas.
Enable Allow corrections to allow corrections of any checkmarks; inked-out checkmarks are then treated as unselected. If you selected the Auto type, you do not need to allow corrections.

Other recognition modes

  • Do not recognize: select this mode if the field cannot be recognized (for example, text made of fused letters). The field is not recognized, and the Operator enters its value during verification.
  • Script recognition: select this mode to use a custom recognition or initialization algorithm. For more information, see Custom recognition script.
